Blurbs:

“In three decades of vibrant and luminous stories set against the backdrop of historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, novelist John Michael Cummings’s debut collection, The Spirit In My Shoes, trains his distinctive eye for moeurs domestique on the community he knows best—and does so with a fierce optimism that captures the abiding promise of the human spirit.” —Jacob M. Appel, author of Einstein’s Beach House

“A John Michael Cummings story is like no other. He is an original in his characters, his dramatic situations, and his use of language.” —Walter Cummins, author of Telling Stories: Old & New

“With versatility that takes the reader from a headstone maker to an artist who plays with the meaning of black-and-white, Cummings defies us to read any story just once.” —Patty Friedmann, author of Too Jewish and Secondhand

The Billionaire’s Assistant: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

About The Billionaire’s Assistant: An Enemies to Lovers Romance

When the hottest one-night stand of my life turns out to be my new billionaire boss, I don’t think I can ever live it down.

And to make matters worse, he’s pretending not to know who I am—and seems hell bent on making my life a living hell.

On the eve of her first day at her new job, Olivia Reilly makes the worst mistake of her life. She goes home with the absolute hottest man she’s ever met—only to learn the next day that her one-night stand is her new boss, Asher King, CEO of King Technologies.

Unlike their passionate encounter, Asher is cold and stern, but Olivia can’t quit. She desperately needs the money. Her childhood home, the only thing left connecting her to her late family, hangs on a precarious financial cliff. And unfortunately, not even this new job is enough to save it.

Desperate to save the thing she cares most about in this world, Olivia takes on a new side job. Something a bit unorthodox but incredibly lucrative. Close enough to sex work to make bank, but far enough away for Olivia to keep her dignity.

There’s only one problem. A patron at the club seems overly interested in Olivia. And when creepy notes and an attempted kidnapping cement that Olivia has a stalker on her hands, she doesn’t know where to turn.

When Asher notices bruises from an encounter with her stalker, he is livid and demands to know what happened. But Olivia is wary to trust and running out of time. Can her new boss—the coldest man she’s ever met, but with whom she spent a night of utter ecstasy—be trusted to help her get out of this dangerous situation?

And can Asher King, who has always kept women at arm’s length, finally learn to love?

A steamy erotic romance, and the first in the Billionaire Brothers series, this book is as hot as they come. Contains themes of rough play, dirty talk, and dominance.

Tropes: billionaire boss, alpha male, forced proximity, touch her and you die, enemies to lovers, office romance
